Triangle HIJ is dilated by a scale factor of 23\frac{2}{3} to form triangle H'I'J'. What is the measure of side I'J'? Answer Attempt 1 out of 3

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Triangle HIJ is similar to triangle H'I'J' due to dilation.
2. The scale factor of the dilation is 23\frac{2}{3}.
3. The side length IJIJ of triangle HIJ is 4242.

STEP 2

1. Understand the relationship between the original and dilated triangles.
2. Apply the scale factor to the side length of the original triangle.
3. Calculate the length of side IJI'J'.

STEP 3

Understand the relationship between the original and dilated triangles:
Since triangle H'I'J' is a dilation of triangle HIJ, all corresponding sides of triangle H'I'J' are proportional to the sides of triangle HIJ by the scale factor 23\frac{2}{3}.

STEP 4

Apply the scale factor to the side length of the original triangle:
The side IJIJ of triangle HIJ is 4242. To find the corresponding side IJI'J' in triangle H'I'J', multiply IJIJ by the scale factor:
IJ=IJ×23 I'J' = IJ \times \frac{2}{3}

STEP 5

Calculate the length of side IJI'J':
IJ=42×23 I'J' = 42 \times \frac{2}{3} IJ=28 I'J' = 28
The measure of side IJI'J' is:
28 \boxed{28}
